"Thank you for the calls to my son from his counselor. He looks forward to talking and keeping in touch. We do not have long distance service, so calling him is very nice"
"I want to say thank you! I missed my son, but it was well worth it. My son wears his camp shirt with pride. Those are his words. Thanks again"
The goal of our extensive Follow Up/Outreach Program is to support and encourage our boys to continue the positive behavioral changes they are making. In addition we are available to assist your family and your boys with issues that arise in their lives at school or at home.
Our experience is that those boys who attend our camp are more likely to do better in school, have better attitudes toward school and home and are more likely to graduate high school and attend college.
The boys are invited to reunions, field trips and community meetings…we keep in touch through personal contacts (phone calls, emails and letters) and staff are always available to provide support and encouragement. A year book is sent to all campers reminding them not only of the fun of camp and the friends they made, but also to help them remember the positive lessons they learned at camp. These contacts provide a positive peer group association and will give a strong incentive to remind the boys of the choices they make.
